  • Abstract:
    This article describes a tool to help potential developers of privatized design/build transportation facilities identify high quality projects; the tool is called the Project Scoring Table (PST). Development of the PST occurred after a thorough literature review and extensive fact-finding interviews. On one level, ignoring its evaluative functions, the PST provides a concise compendium of issues important to privatized transportation projects. On another level, the PST is an evaluation tool for privatised transportation projects. The PST identifies nine high-level evaluation criteria for a privatised project, ranging from the political circumstances of the project to its environmental cleanup needs. Using the PST helps both the public agency and their private partner evaluate potential projects in three ways. First, it helps establish the overall viability of the project. Second, it helps define the balance between owner and design/builder. Finally, it helps the partners define where their interests are coincident and where they diverge.
